2. Safety Information
This product is intended for users aged 15 years and older. Keep small pieces away from young children to prevent choking hazards. For detailed safety information, please refer to the official safety document provided by the manufacturer:
3. Setup
Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a clean, flat, and sufficiently large workspace. The completed puzzle measures 136 x 96 cm, so a large table or a dedicated puzzle mat is recommended.

- Carefully open the puzzle box and remove all pieces.
- Spread the pieces out on your workspace.
- Begin by sorting the pieces by color and shape. This initial organization will significantly aid in the assembly process.

4. Operating (Assembly Instructions)
Follow these steps to assemble your Trefl 6000-piece puzzle:
- Assemble the Border: Identify all edge pieces (those with one straight side). Begin by connecting these pieces to form the outer frame of the puzzle. This provides a clear boundary and reference for the rest of the assembly.
- Sort by Color and Pattern: Group the remaining pieces by distinct colors, patterns, or recognizable elements from the puzzle image. This makes it easier to locate specific pieces.
- Work in Sections: Start assembling smaller sections of the puzzle based on the sorted groups. Refer to the image on the puzzle box for guidance.
- Connect Sections: Once several smaller sections are complete, begin connecting them to each other and to the border.
- Fill the Center: Continue filling in the central areas of the puzzle using the remaining pieces, working systematically until all pieces are placed.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To clean the puzzle pieces, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the paper material and colors.
5.2 Storage and Preservation
If you wish to preserve your completed puzzle, special puzzle glue (such as Trefl puzzle glue) can be applied to the surface. Once glued and dry, the puzzle can be mounted on cardboard and displayed.
